You should write a post about this too- yo...Kristy,<br />You should write a post about this too- your comment was so well written and exactly what I was trying to say! I definitely don't think sugar is the number one bad guy in our diets causing everyone to gain weight, it's the combination of a whole bunch of stuff (like sedentary lifestyles etc.) and so occasional treats are necessary. Unfortunately I feel quite sick eating too much sugar and love my fruit too much to give it up for a cookie or something.<br /><br />Again, thanks so much for your well thought out and meaningful comment, I appreciate it!<br />Steph 2 chef xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348703168635682069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626027431649168940.post-35460729167420164242015-02-28T20:04:28.130-08:002015-02-28T20:04:28.130-08:00I don't eat stevia for two reasons; the first ...I don't eat stevia for two reasons; the first because I react really badly to it and secondly because I don't trust it. Once upon a time, scientists thought things like aspartame were safe but now we know otherwise. Stevia is only a newcomer in the food industry and I feel like we need more time to work out what it does to our bodies before going crazy on it (though people are already doing that and stevia is already in SO many foods!)<br /><br />I use maple syrup, coconut sugar or honey in baking when needed which, whilst still sugar, are less processed and I always reduce the sugar content in my recipes compared to others anyway. I'm all about balance though, so I do eat Icecream or regular sugar when I feel like it - but that may be once a week or a couple of times a month, not everydayKristy Sayer-Jones @ Southern In Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729691955996288353noreply@blogger.com
